In line with Marco’s philosophy of being the leader in vision diagnostics, Marco Connect was developed to take the guess work out of device integration within the eye care industry. Marco Connect is a proactive approach to making the available data from our high tech devices easily accessible to all EMR vendors. This is accomplished by Marco Connect handling the complicated communication requirements and providing EMR vendors with a simple XML output containing all available readings.
Supporting our effort to always improve, this new release of Marco Connect includes three enhancements. The first of these is registration of installation. The registration information allows us to more accurately record customer use so we may alert customers of upcoming releases. Along with registration, we have included the ability to provide both HL-7 and DICOM formatted output.
The standard version of Marco Connect is still provided free of charge to all EMR Vendors and direct Marco Customers. If the capability to support HL-7 and DICOM formatting is desired, or you are not a direct Marco Customer, a separate registration request must be submitted through our Customer Care Center. Some EMR vendors will incorporate the currently integrated version of Marco Connect with their software packages, while others may direct their customers to the Marco website to obtain the latest copy of our software. In either case, the Marco Technical EMR team is here to assist with questions on cable connections, software setup, and all other integration related questions, to make your enhancements as seamless as possible, with the least possible disruption to your practice.
